Auburn, ME – Three CMCC fall sport student-athletes picked up Yankee Small College Conference "Player of the Week" honors in week seven. Alaynah LeBlond received the award for Women's Soccer, Isabella Higgins for Women's Volleyball, and Eva Fleurent in Cross Country.
Women's Soccer – Alaynah LeBlond
Alaynah LeBlond had a great game for the Mustangs on the road against UMaine Augusta, scoring a natural hat trick in the first half and adding two assists to help CMCC clinch the #2 seed in the YSCC East Division playoffs. The speedy midfielder from Old Orchard Beach, ME now has four goals on the season and six in her career, as the Mustangs prepare to face archrival #3 SMCC at home this Saturday.
Volleyball – Isabella Higgins
Isabella Higgins led CMCC with 17 kills this week and a 21.2% hitting percentage. The sophomore middle blocker from Alabama was instrumental in the Mustangs win over UMaine Fort Kent to close out the regular season, picking up 14 kills, 11 digs, and 4 block assists to help the team come from two sets down to pick up a 3-2 win. While the team's season didn't end the way they wanted it to with a loss to NHTI in the quarterfinals, Higgins did collect YSCC All-Conference honors for her play this year.
Women's Cross Country – Eva Fleurent
Eva Fleurent grabbed runner of the week honors after finishing on the podium at the Thomas College Invitational in Waterville, ME. The freshman from Biddeford, ME took 3rd place overall in the NCAA DIII event with a time of 27:52.1 in the 6K race. Fleurent has impressed this season, posting some of the fastest times among YSCC runners this year, with her best being a 25:55.28 at the Maine State Championships earlier this fall.
